Intel Corporation is moving to a more advanced, 34- nanometer (nm) manufacturing process for its leading NAND flash-based Solid State Drive (SSD) products, which are an alternative to a computer's hard drive. The move to 34nm will help lower prices of the SSDs up to 60 percent for PC and laptop makers and consumers who buy them due to the reduced ... [ Read full article ]

Available now: SSDSA2MH080G2C1 - Price Comparison - Canada's Cheapest Prices Lowest price as of this search is $390. I would think this will drop within the next month once the 'rush buzz' fades a bit.

This improved performance is not shown in the X-25's sustained sequential write speed, which can only achieve up to 70 MBps. Instead read latency is now 65 microseconds and write latency is just 85 Ás. That compares to read and write seek times of 4.2 ms and 4.7 ms, or 4200 Ás and 4700 Ás.

Max xfer is still 250 MBps however...Does this just mean a better I/O xfer?

We posted Intel's press release in the Hardware Canuck's News section (the forum isn't the only part of the website ya know ;) )

The two threads were merged into one rather than having two separate threads about the same topic, but the automated script appears to have converted the OP's post into the news snippet from HWC's news post :S (which is identical to my post)

I thought i had lost it, because i posted originally on your "new thread" saying i saw it before, once i posted it it the threads were already merged and i was rather confused. Enjoy FiXting it then, lol
